Sanef to mark Black Wednesday with third annual gala dinner
The South African National Editors' Forum (Sanef) will host its annual Black Wednesday Gala Dinner at the Emoyeni venue in Parktown, Johannesburg on 18 October 2019. The gala dinner is held in commemoration of Black Wednesday and celebration of the hard-won media freedom that followed.
South African Reserve Bank deputy governor Kuben Naidoo, who also serves as the head of the newly established Prudential Authority, will deliver this year's keynote address.
